In the afternoon, Ji Jiu had Ji Baohu comfort the horse, then she had Ji Wenting put it on her, following the steps she had given her. Because the horse remembered Ji Wenting riding it often, it was not alarmed by what he was doing to its feet. Soon enough, Ji Wenting was fully shoeed on each foot. Ji Jiu nodded at him in satisfaction. She had him put the saddle and stirrups in again according to her method until the whole thing was finished.
The six men looked at the picture of the horse in front of them wearing your equipment. They all wondered. Seeing a horse dressed like this made him look much more valiant than before. Plus, getting on a horse is much easier than before. They no longer have to pull the reins and use their body to jump up. But you can step directly on the horse's stirrups.
Ji Jiu had Ji Wenting try riding a horse to see if it was more comfortable. Without delay, he quickly got on his horse and rode around nearby. After a while, he dismounted and immediately reported to Ji Jiu.
"Miss, I feel like riding a horse is much easier than before. Plus, controlling the horse is very convenient. I don't have to be afraid of falling from my horse again. The saddle seat is soft and comfortable. If traveling long distances I don't have to make frequent stops." Ji Wenting reported to his young lady with a smile.
"Then that's good, sir. But who are you going to send the robe to Grandfather with?"
"I will go with Ahu. will hurry back The other two siblings probably couldn't travel this fast. I will let them stay here and take care of you."
"OK. So when are you leaving? I'm afraid the weather will get even colder and it will be difficult for you all to travel back."
"I'll go prepare some supplies and clothes first. Waiting to shoe the other horse before setting off. Miss, don't worry about me, sir. I assure you that I will be careful and come back as soon as possible."
"Okay, sir. Before you go, don't forget to put on the robes that Aunt Li made for you. It won't be too cold."
"Yes, young lady. Then I will take you guys to prepare the horses and food first."
Ji Jiu nodded at them. She handed Ji Baohu a package of robes before walking back to the house. She didn't know if the old man would like it or not. However, it was the kindness that she wanted for him. He shouldn't be displeased. As for his grandson, She only saw that he was the old man's grandson. If you give it to just one person, what will happen? So she had Aunt Li do it for her as well.
Two kegs later, Ji Wenting and Ji Baohu had gone to Aunt Qiao to ask for provisions and had already prepared things to put on their horses. They came to bid farewell to Ji Jiu before leaving. Ji Jiu saw that they had brought swords and bows with them and was relieved. She didn't know if the way outside would be dangerous or not. So she could only wish them safe travels.
The other four young men each delivered the two brothers to the main gate. They promised to take care of the house in their absence. Then they closed the main gate and went about making the parts for the small cart. They intend to make two more to use on rotation or if they need to be used at the same time so they can carry more stuff. No need to run around often in one car.
Today, the villagers who received winter coats from the village headman and Aunt He were even more grateful for Ji Jiu's kindness. They promised to take good care of the shirt to make it worthy of Ji Jiu spending so much money and helping make it like this. The size of these robes was not a problem at first because the people who sewed them were all family members. The size is just right to wear.
"You guys, don't think too much. Ji Jiu doing this was her happiness. You all just take it and use it. If Ji Jiu finds out that you kept it and refuses to wear it, she will be very angry."
"We understand, sir. We will definitely use it every day."
The villagers made a promise that they would not let the robes that they had all helped to make go to waste. Moreover, this year was really too cold. Those who were able to endure the cold before were still unable to endure it. If you don't get Ji Jiu's robe, They probably wouldn't be able to continue making soap. However, they still had to make and sell as much soap as possible before the weather got any worse. In order to have money to buy more supplies like the village headman had said. Now the first batch of soap has been sent for sale since yesterday. The villagers who manage the shop and accountants say that it's selling very well too. They sell each soap for just $5. Only E-pae Because they were afraid that no one would buy it. Even though it was sold this cheap, the cost of making it was not that much. There was a lot of animal fat that was thrown away at the oil factory. When they asked for it, they got it for free. So the village headman brought it back in large quantities. at one time because they were afraid that if people knew that they were used to make soap Oil plants may sell to them instead.
Ji Wenting and Ji Baohu had departed from Hunhe Village for two days. They had almost reached the border town. With their horseshoes and equipment, they were able to travel faster than usual. They only stopped for a short break to eat and rest their horses on the first day. Then we continued on our journey until we were almost there.
When we arrived in front of the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate were startled to see a person wearing a strange robe riding a horse, so they hurriedly stopped to inquire, fearing that they might be spies for the emperor's opponents. The rebellion is being dealt with now. In the city, people are more careful than usual when entering and exiting.
"Who are you? What are you going into the city to do?"
"We are from Hunhe Village. We're here to deliver a coat to General Tuan. Our young lady is afraid that the cold weather will make you sick. So order us to hurry up and deliver it to you first." Ji Wenting handed the jade bag that the young lady had made for him to show to the soldiers at the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate weren't sure if it was true or not. So they had Ji Wenting and his brother wait at the door first. They would hurry and report to General Tuan.
Less than two kilos. General Tuan's bodyguard He came to take them to the general's residence. It was a good thing that the guards also knew how to show them the jade. Otherwise, they wouldn't have recognized Ji Wenting and Ji Baohu. They wore cloaks and hats, covering their faces and eyes so that they could barely see.
